Ridgewood had a full day kindergarten at Hawes school 25 years ago. Were records kept as to how successfully that worked out? They had to quit when class sizes became too big. All our elementary schools have an extra classroom to be used for kindergarten? And extra teachers and aides must be hired (and provided with benefits for life.) This is a very costly endeavor.
Ridgewood students have very little free time to participate in all the activities this town offers. We did not have all these options years ago, but my child was still cranky and tired when he came home from a full day of kindergarten.
